Royal Caribbean has sent one of its ships to Puerto Rico to help victims of Hurricane Maria.

The cruise line announced on Tuesday that it is cancelling its September 30 Adventure of the Seas cruise so it can use the 3,800 passenger vessel to pick up evacuees in Puerto Rico, St. Croix and St. Thomas and drop them off in Fort Lauderdale.

Royal Caribbean is also donating water, medical supplies and more to those in need.

The cruise line tweeted about the ship’s arrival in San Juan on Wednesday, which included photos.
